If the safety items of the pen cover are not qualified, it is easy to cause serious harm to human health.If the pen is accidentally swallowed by a child, it is easy to get stuck in the throat and block the trachea, resulting in suffocation and death.

The main reasons for failure are:

Product design and process problems, product design defects, or insufficient processing technology make the air flow of the pen sleeve too small after accidental entry, unable to support normal breathing, resulting in suffocation.

The new GB21027-2020 standard has been enforced since February 1 this year.The detection of phthalates is a new main technical indicator, which aims to limit students' direct contact with the content of phthalates in stationery to protect students' health.

Examples of Nonconforming Student Supplies (Erasers) Products

Recently, Shanghai Customs detected 2 batches of cartoon-shaped erasers imported from Japan with phthalates exceeding the standard.After laboratory testing, the content of phthalates in the sample exceeded the standard by nearly300times.

Medical studies have shown that phthalates may cause reproductive developmental toxicity, insulin imbalance, obesity, asthma and allergic diseases, and even endocrine system disorders, especially for children, which are prone to neurobehavioral developmental abnormalities, precocious puberty, and sexual dysfunction. or adverse effects such as feminization of boys.


The main reasons for failure are:

- the manufacturer has not established a control system for the addition of plasticizers;

——When purchasing in the international market, importers are mostly price- and style-oriented, and choose cartoon or animation-themed shapes as selling points to attract consumers.
